taxi deposit

insideout SG

Hi to all, Im new here and would like to ask anyone here knows if i can drive a taxi without having to fork out the $1000 deposit.

If im planning only to drive part time, is the $1000 deposit a must? Anyone one here can enlighten me on this? Coz i saw in the newspaper, someone posted saying no need deposit.

Thanks

Ya , that type ..... toyota crown .

Normally comfortdelgro's rate for toyota crown $44 max .

This advertised taxis are mostly from smart crown & Silver crown , slightly more expensive $48 .

This smrt and silver cab has got nothing to do with smart and premier .

It's a 3rd party taxi rental sub company .

But heard must buy insurance , dunno .

This 3rd party kiosk , rent taxis from SMART and Silver , base on special rate , they paid upfront full month rental .

And deposit .

Then they release it out on daily basis .

Poolman SG

Not only rental pay more , diesel also more expensive because drivers from this kiosk has got no subsidise like CDG .

So have to go Esso or Shell like that ....
